Jay-Z and Beyonce look gorgeous in New York.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z just wanted to remind us that they the most perfect couple ever.

We know what you're thinking. "Um, isn't every single photo of Beyoncé and Jay-Z the essence of pure perfection?" Well, yes. But this photo is a little more epic than the others because it is literally free of flaws. Just look at Bey's perfectly tilted head and Jay-Z's "I won the wife lottery forever" gaze! AND please behold their wrinkle-free wardrobe. Just TRY to find something wrong with this picture, but have fun wasting your time.

The Carter couple was snapped looking classier than ever at the 40/40 Club's 10-year Anniversary party in New York. And while we are in awe of the couple's consistent photogenic qualities, we're more impressed at how they can so effortlessly balance their work AND social calendars! For one thing, Jay-Z just announced his new album, Magna Carta Holy Grail (via a Samsung commercial during the NBA finals), and Beyoncé's still traveling on her "Mrs. Carter Show World Tour" AND making new music. Plus -- and this goes without saying -- they have Baby Blue Ivy to think about! Where do they find time to attend swanky parties?!  There's gotta be a scientific phenomenon that allows super famous people more than 24 hours in a day. (We're gonna believe that so we don't feel bad about our own poor time-management skills.)

Beyoncé and Jay-Z share the perfect "casual" kiss.

Beyonce + Jay-Z = the cutest couple on Earth.

Apparently we're emotional masochists, because while we're sitting in bed alone right now eating gluten-free bread, we're also writing about (and being THE MOST JEALOUS of) Beyoncé having the perfect "casual kiss" with her hubby, Jay-Z. We won't even mention the fact that Bey is wearing a TO DIE FOR "Clueless"-era crop top, which not only proves that she is our fashion spirit animal, but also that she is ALMOST DEFINITELY NOT pregnant with her second Carter child.

But back to Beyoncé and Jay-Z's kissing and cuddling! Per our calculations, this is in fact the SECOND make-us-reactivate-our-JDate profile photo the internet has provided in recent weeks. Remember that time Beyoncé adorably sipped Merlot on Jay-Z's lap during a much-needed "Mrs. Carter Show World Tour" break?? Yeah, when we need a break, we go around the corner and treat ourselves to a kale apple lemon ginger juice and perhaps a paraffin mani/pedi. Stars are absolutely and positively nothing like us.

Listen to Beyonce's "Rise Up."

Listen to Beyoncé's 'Epic' soundtrack contribution, "Rise Up."

Beyoncé has taken one giant step further on her quest to become the queen of movie soundtracks (as opposed to just being the queen in general)! In addition to her silky cover of Amy Winehouse's "Back To Black" for the Great Gatsby soundtrack, Bey has also contributed her inspirational track "Rise Up" to the upcoming film "Epic"! We should probably also mention that Beyoncé voices the role of Queen Tara in the film, which is probably not tooooo far of a stretch for her to play, because, well, the whole QUEEN thing, you know?

Listen to Beyoncé's "Rise Up" after the jump.

Beyonce is drinking wine on Jay-Z's lap.

Beyoncé sips wine on Jay-Z's lap, which probably means she's NOT pregnant.

OK, so, we've been obsessing for literally WEEKS over whether or not Beyoncé is in fact pregnant with her second Carter child. You remember when all that uterine ruckus began, right? Like, when she had to cancel a tour date in Antwerp, Belgium, "on doctor's orders"? AND that her Met Gala dress had kind of a pregnant vibe? Ah, memories. Well, since then, Beyonce's been slowly shutting down the rumor mill, first with a strongly worded Instagram, and now with this nicely subtle photo of her drinking wine on Jay-Z's lap. OK, y'all, case closed! We can all go back to looking at cat GIFs now!

Posting her relaxed-looking hoodie 'n' wine photo to Tumblr, Beyoncé looks the very picture of NOT PREGNANT while lovingly sitting on Jay-Z's lap in Europe (probably taking a much-needed "Mrs. Carter Show World Tour" break). And while we can't confirm that the "Bow Down" singer is knowingly dispelling those pesky pregnancy rumors, we DO have a sneaking suspicion that SHE TOTALLY IS. Because you know Beyoncé doesn't do anything on social media without a clear, distinct purpose. She is definitely NOT the "accidentally post my denim thong to Instagram" type. Unlike some other pop stars (HI, RIHANNA) we know. Drink up, B!

Listen to Kelly Rowland's "You've Changed."

Kelly Rowland teams up with Beyoncé and Michelle Williams on her new single, "You've Changed." 

Just so y'all know, THIS IS NOT A NEW DESTINY'S CHILD SONG. That's right: Kelly Rowland's latest jam, "You've Changed" featuring Beyoncé and Michelle Williams, might seem confusing at first, since, well, all three members of Destiny's Child are singing -- but NAY! This is a Kelly Rowland song, featuring her former Destiny's Child besties. IT'S A BOLD MOVE, and we love it!
